SsangYong has unveiled its new sports activity vehicle (SAV), the Kyron.

SsangYong plans to export 37,000 Kyrons a year in 2006.

Kyron’s specification includes multilink rear suspension, anti-lock brakes with EBD, brake assist, active rollover protection and hill descent control.

The five-door, five-seater will be available with a choice of new-generation common-rail diesel engines including a 140bhp 2.0-litre unit.

Kyron will make its European debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and will go on sale through SYUK Cars’ network of 53 dealers in the first quarter of 2006.
